ECG/Stress Testing Mount Zion

Heart testing services in Mount Zion

We have the most sophisticated equipment available for diagnosing cardiovascular disorders.

We perform advanced versions of diagnostic tests, such as:

• Electrocardiograms (ECGs)
• Echocardiograms
• Holter monitoring (a 24-hour heart monitor)
• Exercise stress tests (assesses your heart’s ability to function during exertion)

Our lab also offers a full array of echocardiography or heart ultrasound procedures and testing, including:

• 2D echocardiography. We may perform this through the chest wall or through the esophagus using an endoscope. These procedures can produce clearer images because the sound waves do not need to pass through skin, bone and other tissues.
• Stress echocardiography. We do this ultrasound before and after you exercise.
• Color flow Doppler. This test can reveal problems with blood flow.
• CT scan. A CT scan combines many X-rays to create a detailed image of your heart.

Preparing for your appointment

Part of the stress test involves walking on a treadmill to monitor your heart's functioning. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can exercise in.

Please do not bring any valuable items, such as jewelry or other personal belongings, to the laboratory.
